Location: Richmond

Details: “I was driving back home from work. I was at a red light, when suddenly, I look over the horizon, I saw an oval metallic shape UFO floating/steady over some power lines near some train rail track and overlooking the Chevron refinery.

“When I realized what I was looking at, I decided to turn around to recorded on my phone but it was too late, it was gone/disappear. But I can assure you it wasn't a drone.”

Details: “I was blowing bubbles with my son around 7:45 pm tonight and looked up and saw a light that appeared too high to be an airplane. I thought perhaps it was a planet as it was glowing brightly. I could tell it was moving, but quite slowly and could make out six less bright lights glowing around it.

“They were traveling southeast all in tandem, though the six lesser lights seemed to move slightly as well, but all seemed to be traveling around the main star.”

Details: “We are on a direct Alaska Airline flight 3377 from Albuquerque to San Francisco and during the trip I like to take pictures of clouds. My wife then [told] me have you seen those lights I said no but look back and there 3 objects each one with 2 bright lights that were above ground and were all lined up...

“The objects seems to remain in the same position not moving from one other. I have recorded a 4 minutes clip until I couldn't see any longer the objects from the plane window. We didn't advertised our observation to any flight personnel to avoid creating chaos on the plane.”

Details: “Went outside looked up towards the moon and moving slowly across sky were three bright lights in a triangle formation. Then all lights dimmed out simultaneously. This had to be a cloaked TR3B [black triangle UFO]! I am a believer.”

Details: “It was as big or bigger than airliner.. no wings... no sound... clear as day... moving fast... not blimp speed... no visible means of propulsion... tried to get my phone cam out but had left inside.”

Details: “Very loud ongoing noise, similar to a hair dryer or leaf blower frequency, filled the Larkspur/Kentfield, CA, valley area near Marin General. Weather was clear with some light patches of fog. From our terrace, (400 ft. above city street level), in the distance I saw what looked like a huge drone, with a big green flashing light, bright white light with smaller red and yellow lights, but this was not a drone, pretty big aircraft.”
